    ******

    The Toronto FinTech Conference is an annual event where scholars in the fields of strategy, entrepreneurship & innovation, organization theory, finance, and economics can discuss and advance their research on the rise, diffusion, and disruptive potential of financial technologies (e.g. digital currencies, blockchain, P2P lending, equity crowdfunding, robo-advisors, Big Data,...).

    FinTech is reshaping the economy by promoting decentralization, disintermediation, and digitization. Now it is time for scholars to address these trends with rigorous research.

    The First Annual Toronto FinTech Conference seeks to build a global community of leading scholars (both professors and PhD students) researching FinTech topics across a range of related disciplines.

    The conference is supported by the Scotiabank Digital Banking Lab at Ivey Business School. We will cover registration fees for all scholars selected to present a paper.

    Authors should submit a 5-page proposal, to be followed by a 30-40 page full paper should the proposal be accepted.
